For over 15 years The King Center has hosted The Classic Albums Live with Picnic on the Patio. The 2021 Classic Albums Live Concert Series will feature a new line up and new pre-show event with Party on the Patio sponsored in part by 98.5 FM WSBH The Beach.

”We’ve expanded it, we’ve rebranded it, (and) we’re excited that Party on the Patio is here” said Bob Papke, Vice President of ASM Global Theaters and General Manager of the King Center. “We are using more of the facility and we’re excited to be able to put this on post pandemic” Papke added.

Classic Albums Live takes classic albums and recreates them live, on stage – note for note, cut for cut. Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live has become the ultimate destination for music lovers wanting to hear the greatest albums performed live. Relying only on the music, using what Martin refers to as ‘the world’s best musicians’.
